The Buffalo Sabres put together a strong performance today against the Washington Capitals. They played a full 60 minute effort and were rewarded for it with a nice runaway win.
The Sabres got on the board early with a nice passing play. Jack Eichel hit Jeff Skinner down low and he made a great backhand pass out front to Jason Pominville all alone to get the early lead.
In the second half of the period they increased their lead to two. Sam Reinhart got free on the wing and snapped a shot over the shoulder of Brayden Holtby.
